The following study investigates the use of a coaxial transmission line for determining the properties of powdery dielectric materials (1-10GHz). Four powdery materials with dielectric constants ranging from 3.5 to 70 (SiO$_2$, Al$_2$O$_3$, CeO$_2$, and TiO$_2$) were experimentally investigated at varying volume loading fractions. Powder particles were mixed with a paraffin matrix and properties of the powder were analyzed using ten mixing equations to verify their accuracy. These powder-paraffin composites were also modeled at varying volume loadings for comparison with experimental data to gain a better understanding of the interactions between the different phases. The optimal volume loading fraction was determined to be 10% for all powders tested. A metric for selecting the most well-suited mixing equation was proposed that involved taking the ratio of the particle dielectric to that of the matrix. This study ultimately provides guidance for experimentally measuring the dielectric properties of unknown powdery materials that have application for new devices that utilized powder-based dielectric materials. |
